For the iPod or iPhone issue , you will need to jailbreak it, I have my iPod touch jailbreak and I can use it while is plug in, no caution window will show up

i have no problem using my iphone with the head unit, its just that i can not change albums, artists etc using the encob146 unit?? is there a way to to able to browse songs/genre/playlists/artists on the headunit?

hello all, i dont post on here much as im a regular on e46zone, but i can confirm that wifi does indeed work as follows

i purchased a powered usb hub from ebay, as well as a usb wifi dongle, on powering up, and switching on wifi on the android side, either by the power option widget, or via the settings menus, all local wifi routers were detected, and i was able to connect, a wifi logo then appeared in the top right of the unit, and was able to surf as normal

the bluetooth is a bit more tricky, as the api for both phone, and bluetooth have been omitted from the ROM, we have 2 options here.

install a compatible API allowing bluetooth to work
or probably the better option
see if a custom ROM can be created installed that will support the chipset in the device

there is a post on here ref a dynavin ROM, but i have not had a reply from the owner to see if the ROM is compatible, (personally i dont think it is, due to a different chipset)

going back to my usb hub setup, i have both my 3g dongle, and wifi dongle attached to this without issue.

wifi is slow to start, but does work. confirmed

hope this helps

Can you share more detail about wifi dongle and where you connect or explain how to make it work?

If I use any other input.. i.e. the Bluetooth to play music, a reasonable volume is "15". Yet, on the radio, 2 is too loud. I just don't understand why? I think this has to be something that is adjustable through programming..

further more, if I add the adjustable line at the amp as mentioned, wouldn't all of the other inputs then be too quiet??

also==== wheel controls are almost completely useless. The volume works.. a little. meaning... push it 10 times.. then the volume goes down 3 levels... and when I use the select next channel buttons, it goes one frequency at a time.. rather than to the next channel.. any suggestions for this?

i have same issue with radio crazy loud and everything else like you said 15 or so is decently loud.i adjusted treble to -2 and bass to -2 but then when playing cd or movie it suffers alot.i dont get it and is annoying as heck since i'm constantly having my 2 month old in car,someone must know a way to fix radio volume issue,cant see just a few of us must be all i would imagine having this issue.like said above everything else is normal so a loc would screw everything else up.as for your wheel controls i found you have to push the button and hold for split second and works just fine,but as for presets mine does the same 1 freq at a time which i dont mind that much.

Dirty330i... Thanks for the offer. I already got a proper pre '02 adapter. So if anyone needs the newer style Euro antenna adapter, ping me and I'll be happy to pass it on to someone that needs it.

As for the radio volume issue... Ditto. I thought that I read (somewhere inthis thread) that the GPS and Radio were run from different boards. If all the audio sources originated from the GPS board, I could see where there could be a discrepancy in volume. I guess that would mean that someone would have to hack the radio OS and work on the volume control. Of course this purely conjecture/assumption on my part...

Hey everyone. Just installed the WINCE Clone lastnight. First off, it isnt easy getting trim and A/C vents off. Second, installing the camera is horrible because it simply doesnt fit, get ready to sand and drill. All in all it works OK.

Issues
1) The same sound issue as everyone else various levels of sound.
2) The navigation works sometimes and doesnt other times
3) The software seems to have 2 versions that run at various times. You will see the normal screen with all the various uses and then BOOM you go to that screen and you are looking at a totally different multimedia screen that sucks. Its annoying.

A) Can someone send me an updated navigation like igo primo v2.0? I dont really like the one that came with it.
B) Anyone know what I am talking about in regards to the 2 random versions of software?

Sidenote: Bluetooth works great and had pandora streaming on this thing is seconds. Sounded really good.
